Goodbye Hollywood

WEBVTT
1
00:00:10.509 --> 00:00:15.390
It seems companies cannot get out of California fast enough
2
00:00:15.449 --> 00:00:18.059
under Gavin Newsom. The list of businesses that have fled
3
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.199
the state, it reads like a stock ticker. Tesla, gone
4
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.379
to Texas. SpaceX, gone. Chevron, after 150 years in California,
5
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:31.829
gone to Houston. Oracle, Palantir, Charles Schwab, Hewlett-Packard, Enterprise, McKayson,
6
00:00:31.989 --> 00:00:37.929
I mean, more company after company. Hundreds of billions of dollars, jobs,
7
00:00:38.570 --> 00:00:42.109
packing up and leaving the highest taxes and the heaviest
8
00:00:42.170 --> 00:00:46.090
regulations anywhere in the entire country. And now and now
9
00:00:46.390 --> 00:00:52.159
the biggest name of them all, a name synonymous with California. Well,
10
00:00:52.299 --> 00:00:54.560
they're putting a deposit down on a new place to
11
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.500
live in a moving truck. Paramount Pictures. That's right. 114
12
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:03.439
years in Hollywood. The mountain, the stars, the studio that
13
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.319
helped build the American film industry. Well, they're getting ready
14
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.329
to leave California. So why would a company walk away
15
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.989
from Hollywood itself, especially a film company? Well, here's why.
16
00:01:16.689 --> 00:01:21.829
California's Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with 11 other
17
00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:26.719
Democrat Attorneys General, decided to sue to block Paramount's merger.
18
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.760
WITH WONDER BROTHERS. THAT LAWSUIT IS COSTING PARAMOUNT A FORTUNE,
19
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.329
$ 7 BILLION BREAKUP FEE IF THE DEAL DIES AND A
20
00:01:34.870 --> 00:01:38.329
TICKING PENALTY THAT PILES UP TO MORE THAN A BILLION
21
00:01:38.549 --> 00:01:41.750
DOLLARS BY THE TIME THIS THING GETS TO TRIAL. SO
22
00:01:41.769 --> 00:01:45.329
THE CEO, DAVID ELLISON, DID THE MATH. HE LOOKED AT
23
00:01:45.370 --> 00:01:48.109
A STATE SUING TO KILL HIS BUSINESS DEAL STACKED ON
24
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.640
TOP OF THE NATION'S HIGHEST TAXES AND HE DECIDED, YOU
25
00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:55.140
KNOW WHAT, I'D RATHER LEAVE THAN KEEP GETTING PUNISHED FOR
26
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.920
TRYING TO DO A DEAL IN THIS STATE. And Bonta
27
00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:01.120
canceled a settlement meeting last month and tried to call
28
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.400
his bluff. Well, it turns out he went bluffing. And
29
00:02:05.420 --> 00:02:08.719
the price California will pay for Bonta's crusade is staggering
30
00:02:08.750 --> 00:02:11.930
by Paramount's own analysis. Losing the studio could cost the
31
00:02:11.990 --> 00:02:17.750
state up to $ 21 billion in economic output and nearly 60,000 jobs, 60,000
32
00:02:17.750 --> 00:02:23.919
families affected. And get this, even the Democrats' own nominee
33
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.710
for governor, Xavier Becerra, supported the merger. Newsom supported it.
34
00:02:29.090 --> 00:02:32.349
The union supported it. And Bonta sued to kill it anyway.
35
00:02:33.250 --> 00:02:35.610
And in doing so, he may have just run Hollywood
36
00:02:35.830 --> 00:02:39.789
out of Hollywood. And this is what happens when you
37
00:02:39.830 --> 00:02:45.319
elect Democrats. They lose opportunities and jobs because they make
38
00:02:45.460 --> 00:02:50.699
things impossible for the people in their states. My next
39
00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:53.740
guest is the man running to replace Rob Bonta as
40
00:02:53.780 --> 00:02:56.460
Attorney General of California. He'll do a much better job,
41
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:00.469
and he will bring Hollywood back, Michael Gates. Welcome back,
42
00:03:00.500 --> 00:03:05.009
David Pollak, primetime. What an insane decision by the Attorney
43
00:03:05.069 --> 00:03:09.270
General of California to chase away, really, something that is
44
00:03:09.370 --> 00:03:12.449
so California. I mean, what do you make of this?
45
00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:16.340
Well, just so the audience knows, too, oftentimes I think
46
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:22.110
people who don't know how these complex mergers and the
47
00:03:22.169 --> 00:03:27.289
antitrust issues, I think they think, well, we'll just trust
48
00:03:27.310 --> 00:03:30.180
the government or we'll trust our Attorney General. What they
49
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.939
need to know is that the paramount Warner Brothers merger
50
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.979
has already been vetted, not only by our federal government,
51
00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:40.120
but the FCC just came out in support of it, again,
52
00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:43.500
with a recent announcement. It has been vetted by every
53
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.979
other interested stakeholder, whether it's the European Union or any
54
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.780
other country. They have all blessed it, supported it, and
55
00:03:50.819 --> 00:03:53.280
that's because it's going to make the entertainment industry better.
56
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.979
It's actually going to stimulate the economies and it's going
57
00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:56.819
to create jobs.
58
00:03:57.490 --> 00:03:59.819
At the end of the day, this is a scam.
59
00:03:59.990 --> 00:04:03.050
It is a sham, politically charged lawsuit by Rob Bonta
60
00:04:03.710 --> 00:04:07.530
against Paramount and Warner Brothers. And many say it is
61
00:04:07.569 --> 00:04:12.050
a political favor to Netflix. Rob Bonta's buddy Netflix, who
62
00:04:12.090 --> 00:04:16.829
has funneled, allegedly funneled nearly a million dollars Netflix has
63
00:04:17.329 --> 00:04:20.089
towards Bonta and his interests over.
64
00:04:19.990 --> 00:04:21.069
The past few years.
65
00:04:21.170 --> 00:04:24.540
And so people see this as a political favor to Netflix.
66
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:27.420
Netflix actually tried to merge with Warner Brothers once upon
67
00:04:27.459 --> 00:04:30.160
a time, and Rob Bonta didn't have any concerns about
68
00:04:30.180 --> 00:04:33.339
that proposed merger. But now that it's Paramount, he's throwing
69
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.339
the flag. And so he's causing a lot of trouble.
70
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:39.170
He's out there saying it's because he cares about consumers
71
00:04:39.230 --> 00:04:42.430
and he's trying to make sure that people can still
72
00:04:42.470 --> 00:04:45.329
afford to go to the movies and afford entertainment. And
73
00:04:45.389 --> 00:04:49.370
so he's trying to tap into this affordability concern, excuse me,
74
00:04:49.430 --> 00:04:50.029
in California.
75
00:04:50.509 --> 00:04:52.509
But what he's missing is that's not it at all.
76
00:04:52.529 --> 00:04:55.129
He's actually driving big business, big employers out of the
77
00:04:55.189 --> 00:04:58.009
state by doing this. If Paramount leaves, which it looks
78
00:04:58.050 --> 00:05:01.649
like they are, that's nearly 60,000 jobs are going to
79
00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:05.129
be lost, not only in the entertainment industry, but all
80
00:05:05.170 --> 00:05:09.500
of the supporting businesses that surround the entertainment industry. So
81
00:05:09.509 --> 00:05:15.459
we're talking Nearly 60,000 jobs, excuse me, lost if Paramount leaves.
82
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:20.420
So Rob Bonta, for pure political gain to scratch the
83
00:05:20.459 --> 00:05:24.980
back of Netflix, he's literally suing big business, big employers
84
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.209
out of the state of California. And like you said
85
00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:30.430
in your opening, these are like, this is part of
86
00:05:30.509 --> 00:05:35.430
California's history, California's culture. Paramount's here over 100 years, been
87
00:05:35.470 --> 00:05:38.430
here in California building the entertainment industry. And yet we've got,
88
00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:42.699
these radicals, these elitists in Sacramento driving big business and
89
00:05:42.740 --> 00:05:47.879
big employers, by the way, these are jobs, 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 40,000,
90
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:51.920
up to 60,000 jobs lost when these businesses leave. So
91
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.579
we're in crisis in California and our elitists in Sacramento,
92
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.420
like Rob Bonta, are not doing us any favors.
93
00:05:58.100 --> 00:06:01.839
Yeah, and you know, it is 60,000 jobs and 60,000
94
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.060
families that would be affected and probably a lot more
95
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.300
when you start to consider all the other things that
96
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.089
are affiliated with that studio. But It's also, like you mentioned,
97
00:06:11.149 --> 00:06:17.310
it's California. It's the history, it's Hollywood. It is such a...
98
00:06:17.899 --> 00:06:19.089
I THINK IT'S A GREAT POINT. I THINK IT'S AN
99
00:06:19.110 --> 00:06:20.769
INSULT TO THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA, THE PRIDE. WHEN YOU
100
00:06:20.810 --> 00:06:23.930
THINK OF LOS ANGELES, YOU THINK OF HOLLYWOOD, AND THAT
101
00:06:23.970 --> 00:06:25.769
IS THE COMPANY THEY'RE CHASING OUT OF THE STATE. YOU
102
00:06:25.790 --> 00:06:28.709
WOULD FIGURE A STATE WOULD BEND OVER BACKWARDS TO MAKE
103
00:06:28.810 --> 00:06:31.649
PARAMOUNT STUDIOS HAPPY TO STAY IN THAT STATE BECAUSE SO
104
00:06:31.670 --> 00:06:35.069
MUCH OF CALIFORNIA'S IDENTITY IS TIED UP IN THAT STUDIO.
105
00:06:35.129 --> 00:06:39.009
AND YET BONT, AS YOU'RE SAYING, BONT IS MORE CONCERNED
106
00:06:39.029 --> 00:06:41.230
WITH HIS FRIENDSHIPS AND DONORS THAN HE IS WITH THE
107
00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:48.800
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. about whether they want that sort of
108
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.139
person in charge of some of these decisions that affect
109
00:06:52.180 --> 00:06:55.139
their state. So what can you do when you're elected
110
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.720
to keep Paramount from leaving? Do you have a choice
111
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:58.220
at this point?
112
00:06:58.740 --> 00:06:59.339
Well, yeah.
113
00:06:59.379 --> 00:07:01.670
So everything that Rob Bonta seems to be doing is
114
00:07:01.699 --> 00:07:05.689
very un-American, whether it's driving big businesses out of California
115
00:07:05.769 --> 00:07:08.589
like Paramount, which is part of our California history.
116
00:07:09.180 --> 00:07:10.560
Or the Stop Nick Shirley Act.
117
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.500
He did not throw the flag and say that that
118
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.839
is a violation of our First Amendment rights. Even our
119
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:17.459
Second Amendment rights are constantly under attack by Rob Bonta
120
00:07:17.500 --> 00:07:21.290
and his lawsuits. He's very un-American. Everything he does is un-American.
121
00:07:21.310 --> 00:07:24.790
I think he, frankly, he hates us everyday Californians. When
122
00:07:24.810 --> 00:07:27.529
I'm Attorney General, I'm going to fight to keep business here.
123
00:07:27.870 --> 00:07:29.839
The Stop Nick Shirley Act is going to be stopped
124
00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:31.540
on day one. I'm not going to enforce it because
125
00:07:31.579 --> 00:07:34.680
doing so would violate the First Amendment rights of everyday Californians.
126
00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:37.079
I'm going to fight to restore Second Amendment rights and
127
00:07:37.100 --> 00:07:37.420
I'm going.
128
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:38.420
To fight to keep businesses here.
129
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.959
I can dismiss this lawsuit and I can come out
130
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.629
with a strongly worded opinion which will be backed by
131
00:07:43.689 --> 00:07:47.449
credibility and experience. I actually had antitrust cases when I
132
00:07:47.490 --> 00:07:49.670
was the city attorney of Huntington Beach. I was in
133
00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:51.589
court at the federal district court and the Ninth Circuit
134
00:07:51.610 --> 00:07:53.850
Court of Appeals arguing antitrust.
135
00:07:54.009 --> 00:07:56.230
I know antitrust law. I know this.
136
00:07:56.170 --> 00:07:59.089
Paramount and Warner Brothers merger is not an antitrust violation.
137
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:01.699
And so I will be leading the charge to dismiss
138
00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:05.819
this lawsuit entirely in order to try to get Paramount to.
139
00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:06.860
Stay in California.
140
00:08:06.899 --> 00:08:09.180
We need these businesses here and why I'm not going
141
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.860
to use the law to be weaponized against our employers
142
00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:15.040
and everyday Californians here in California.
143
00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:18.360
Now, can the governor do it? Can Gavin Newsom, apparently
144
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:20.759
he supported the merger. Can he do anything to.
145
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:21.480
This attorney general?
146
00:08:22.290 --> 00:08:26.589
Newsom has already come out admonishing Rob Bonta, our attorney general.
147
00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.399
And it seems like you said every high-profile Democrat, even
148
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.990
Karen Bass of LA, has been coming out against Rob
149
00:08:33.009 --> 00:08:36.789
Bonta on this lawsuit against this merger. So the Attorney
150
00:08:36.809 --> 00:08:39.830
General has a lot of independent authority that's not dependent
151
00:08:39.889 --> 00:08:42.879
on the governor, the legislature, or even local authorities.
152
00:08:42.929 --> 00:08:45.059
And so Rob Bonta has this ability.
153
00:08:45.100 --> 00:08:47.340
He has this authority, which is why it's so crucial
154
00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:51.360
in this election that we elect responsible adults who will
155
00:08:51.460 --> 00:08:55.850
not politicize their authority and abuse their authority and their
156
00:08:55.889 --> 00:08:58.970
departments like Rob Bonta is with the Attorney General's office.
157
00:08:59.429 --> 00:09:01.549
And we have somebody who's actually going to be there
158
00:09:02.009 --> 00:09:04.169
abiding by the law, upholding and defending the rule of
159
00:09:04.210 --> 00:09:07.389
law and looking out for everyday Californians and our businesses here.
160
00:09:07.490 --> 00:09:10.769
So Rob Bonta unfortunately can be doing this and it
161
00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:13.720
doesn't really frankly matter what Newsom says or what Karen
162
00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:15.580
Bass says, unfortunately.
163
00:09:16.220 --> 00:09:17.639
But that's why it's so important.
164
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.220
People need to know how high stakes the Attorney General's
165
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.309
race is here in November. I'm going to return law
166
00:09:23.330 --> 00:09:25.149
and order to the state of California when I'm AG.
167
00:09:25.570 --> 00:09:28.350
I'm going to stop these political lawsuits and I'm going
168
00:09:28.370 --> 00:09:30.570
to be fighting for everyday Californians and not against them.
169
00:09:30.889 --> 00:09:33.659
Rob Bonta is highly destructive to California, our way of
170
00:09:33.700 --> 00:09:35.059
living and our future.
171
00:09:35.779 --> 00:09:37.980
Yeah, you said something really important here. Now, look, I'm
172
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.620
sure this entire audience is going to vote for Hilton
173
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:44.059
and supports Hilton. But for anybody that may be not
174
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.360
supporting Hilton, like I said, I think everybody should. But
175
00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.730
they do have a choice. They can still elect an
176
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.429
attorney general that better represents their interests. This isn't a
177
00:09:53.669 --> 00:09:56.730
one size fits all ticket. And if you're upset with
178
00:09:56.769 --> 00:09:58.950
what Rob Bonta is doing, even over the objections of
179
00:09:58.970 --> 00:10:03.059
the Democrat governor. and even if Hilton isn't successful and
180
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.990
Bonta keeps his seat, he'll defy whatever Democrat wins this race.
181
00:10:08.029 --> 00:10:09.850
And so that's why it's vital that they look at
182
00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:11.970
these races separately, too, and look at you as an
183
00:10:12.009 --> 00:10:14.669
attorney general and look what you've done in Huntington Beach
184
00:10:14.970 --> 00:10:16.830
to protect voters' rights. And now look what you're going
185
00:10:16.850 --> 00:10:19.460
to do to save Hollywood in California, right?
186
00:10:20.269 --> 00:10:20.809
Absolutely.
187
00:10:20.870 --> 00:10:23.730
There's a tremendous amount of independent authority that the attorney
188
00:10:23.750 --> 00:10:26.110
general has, and I can do everything that I want
189
00:10:26.149 --> 00:10:28.750
to do to restore law and order to California with
190
00:10:28.789 --> 00:10:31.789
or without the governor. So even if Becerra becomes governor,
191
00:10:31.950 --> 00:10:34.529
I am going to work day in and day out
192
00:10:34.529 --> 00:10:36.600
24 seven to restore law and order to the state
193
00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:40.159
of California and to protect our jobs here and to
194
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.360
make sure that we keep Paramount here. I want, when
195
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:45.419
I'm in office, I hope Paramount, they may be planning
196
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.659
to leave, but I hope they give it two more
197
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.429
months because when I win, They will have every reason
198
00:10:49.490 --> 00:10:52.690
to stay in California. And that's what the Attorney General
199
00:10:52.730 --> 00:10:55.450
can do. So I know the governor's race is important,
200
00:10:55.490 --> 00:10:58.320
but with or without a supportive governor, I can work
201
00:10:58.460 --> 00:11:00.789
day in and day out on a daily basis without
202
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.500
the permission of the governor or a grant of authority
203
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:06.100
from the governor to restore California to a law and
204
00:11:06.139 --> 00:11:08.559
order state, to fight for constitutional rights, to fight for
205
00:11:08.620 --> 00:11:11.519
our businesses, to drop political lawsuits. The list goes on
206
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:13.679
and on and on. And so I assure you, I
207
00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:17.470
will fight for everyday Californians, but Californians have to put
208
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:20.330
me into office. If Bonta gets reelected, things are only
209
00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:22.799
going to get worse in his second term. Imagine the
210
00:11:22.840 --> 00:11:27.440
destruction that he has reaped in the first, the destruction
211
00:11:27.460 --> 00:11:29.700
he has sowed in the first term. Imagine what he's
212
00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:32.059
going to do in the second term if he gets reelected.
213
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:33.940
It's going to be far worse. We need a change
214
00:11:33.980 --> 00:11:36.750
in California. Now is the time to rescue California. I'm
215
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.309
the man to do it. I just need the people
216
00:11:38.750 --> 00:11:39.269
to put me there.
217
00:11:40.220 --> 00:11:41.980
Michael Gates, I wish you the best of luck to
218
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.840
do it. Good luck in saving the California film industry.
219
00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:48.370
It's now up to the voters in just a few
220
00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:52.710
weeks to save the film industry in California by electing you.
221
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.590
Thank you so much for being here. I look forward
222
00:11:54.610 --> 00:11:56.809
to talking to you throughout this election process. And good luck,
223
00:11:56.830 --> 00:12:02.009
my friend. Thank you. Still ahead, Canada spent a year
224
00:12:02.669 --> 00:12:07.029
offended that President Trump called it the 51st state election.
225
00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:11.360
So why is it now throwing itself at the feet
226
00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:16.090
of the European Union? Then the Kennedy Center is literally
227
00:12:16.259 --> 00:12:19.570
rotting behind a tarp and the left would rather watch
228
00:12:19.610 --> 00:12:23.669
it crumble than let Trump save it. And a stolen Tesla,
229
00:12:24.129 --> 00:12:27.730
a packed boardwalk and a good Samaritan who caught the
230
00:12:27.809 --> 00:12:31.669
entire takedown on his own smart glasses. It's a story
231
00:12:31.710 --> 00:12:33.220
you're not going to believe. Stick around.

you can't get anywhere else.
242
00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:15.500
For the better part of a year, President Trump has
243
00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:18.720
floated an idea, it's half a joke, half a jab,
244
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:23.460
that Canada should just go ahead and become the 51st state.
245
00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:27.799
Every single time he says it, the Canadian political class, well,
246
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:31.320
they kind of lose their minds, right? Outrage, offense, how
247
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.759
dare he threaten our sovereignty, pride. Well, a very funny
248
00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:42.840
thing happened this week. Canada found itself Another suitor. So
249
00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:45.500
apparently they wanted to be a state, just not ours.
250
00:13:46.230 --> 00:13:49.750
On Wednesday, the head of the European Union, Ursula von
251
00:13:49.870 --> 00:13:54.070
der Leyen, she stood up and offered to make Canada
252
00:13:54.690 --> 00:13:59.149
EU's first ever associate member. It doesn't even exist. It's
253
00:13:59.190 --> 00:14:03.480
a brand new category. She just made it up. And somehow,
254
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:08.730
that's less offensive than offering somebody something that actually exists. No,
255
00:14:08.750 --> 00:14:11.929
they're just going to make up a class to basically
256
00:14:11.950 --> 00:14:14.549
make Canada inferior to the European Union. And they're fine
257
00:14:14.570 --> 00:14:17.840
with it. Not only are they fine with it. Canada's
258
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:21.340
Prime Minister, Mark Carney, he went and hopped on a
259
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:24.259
plane immediately after he heard it. He flew to Strasbourg,
260
00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:27.419
and he gave a swooning speech to the European Parliament.
261
00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.230
Y'all but leapt. into von der Leyen's arms to a
262
00:14:32.289 --> 00:14:37.210
standing ovation. Loves the Europeans. So let me make sure
263
00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:40.860
I have all this right. Joining the United States, your
264
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.700
next-door neighbor, your biggest single trading partner, the nation that
265
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.879
has defended your skies for the better part of a century. Well,
266
00:14:46.899 --> 00:14:51.639
that's an insult to Canadian dignity, but being folded into
267
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:56.559
a sprawling, faceless, failing bureaucracy 4,000 miles across the ocean,
268
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.159
one that can't even tell what associate member would mean,
269
00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:04.000
whether Canada gets into the single market, whose rules, we
270
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:07.490
don't have to follow any of it. That's a great honor.
271
00:15:08.070 --> 00:15:12.809
Worth flying across the country for. And why is Carney
272
00:15:12.850 --> 00:15:16.049
even doing this? It's because he's mad at Trump. He
273
00:15:16.070 --> 00:15:18.740
didn't like Trump. He's mad at the tariffs. And the
274
00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:23.379
51st state talk and the memes, he wants to show
275
00:15:23.570 --> 00:15:26.970
Trump that he can run into the arms of Europe instead.
276
00:15:27.409 --> 00:15:30.330
It's a tantrum dressed up as a foreign policy decision.
277
00:15:30.370 --> 00:15:34.350
And President Trump, he thinks the whole thing's hilarious. He
278
00:15:34.389 --> 00:15:37.649
said it's laughable. He warned that if EU is doing
279
00:15:37.669 --> 00:15:39.590
this as a hostile act to the United States, he'll
280
00:15:39.610 --> 00:15:45.110
put very heavy tariffs on Europe. He even floated cutting
281
00:15:45.149 --> 00:15:50.639
back trade with Europe altogether. In other words, go ahead, Canada.
282
00:15:51.470 --> 00:15:53.629
Go run off to Brussels. And we're going to see
283
00:15:53.669 --> 00:15:55.710
how well that works out for you and the rest
284
00:15:55.750 --> 00:15:58.330
of the EU. Now, my next guest is a Canadian
285
00:15:58.370 --> 00:16:00.870
journalist who has been sounding the alarm about exactly where
286
00:16:00.889 --> 00:16:06.360
Carney is taking Canada. I'm excited to welcome back Dimpy Brar. Dimpy,
287
00:16:06.419 --> 00:16:09.200
welcome back to David Pollak Prime Time. And how's Avatar doing?
288
00:16:10.389 --> 00:16:12.899
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for having me, Mr.
289
00:16:12.940 --> 00:16:13.220
Pollock.
290
00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:15.700
And Aftar is going to be doing much better once
291
00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:16.740
he hears the fact that he.
292
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.580
Got a shout out.
293
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:19.860
So tell me what's going on in Canada.
294
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.799
Well, essentially what we've had here is actually a much
295
00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:27.100
bigger story. You see, Mr. Carney initially went on the
296
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.379
record as did other government sources and denied that he
297
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.990
was even looking into associate membership status. You see, our
298
00:16:34.049 --> 00:16:37.149
parliament isn't even open right now. So he's doing all
299
00:16:37.169 --> 00:16:40.259
of this without any kind of approval from not just
300
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.720
from the people, but from Parliament itself. His own members
301
00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:47.019
are unaware of his plans and actions right now. So
302
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.250
the issue is this. We already have a free trade
303
00:16:51.259 --> 00:16:55.230
agreement with the EU called the CETA. So this must
304
00:16:55.289 --> 00:16:58.649
be something more than free trade. And what does associate
305
00:16:58.690 --> 00:17:01.789
membership even mean? Like you said, it doesn't exist. Well,
306
00:17:01.909 --> 00:17:04.750
I have a thought about what he might have in mind.
307
00:17:05.170 --> 00:17:08.410
You see, Mr. Carney is a true believer, a man
308
00:17:08.450 --> 00:17:12.259
of his word. His argument in his Davos speech is
309
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:17.619
exactly what he's been articulating and pushing towards this entire time. Unfortunately,
310
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:20.940
it's become clear now that he used the anti-Americanism and
311
00:17:20.980 --> 00:17:25.319
the anti-Trumpism to consolidate public opinion behind him in Canada
312
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.619
so he could pivot to Brussels and Beijing. And by
313
00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:31.119
the way, the line is very thin between those two.
314
00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:35.079
To pivot to Brussels and Beijing over and against the
315
00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:38.569
will of what would initially be the Canadian people. What
316
00:17:38.630 --> 00:17:41.309
he's doing right now or attempting to do right now
317
00:17:41.410 --> 00:17:45.599
is to start an anti-Trump resistance movement, a global movement.
318
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:49.480
But let's be honest, this only serves one person's purpose,
319
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.559
and that's Xi Jinping. That's who benefits from all of this. Mr.
320
00:17:53.619 --> 00:17:57.279
Carney is the globalist in quotes, but he's really just
321
00:17:57.339 --> 00:17:59.160
a face for Chinese nationalism.
322
00:17:59.529 --> 00:18:03.740
Yeah, and this whole global coalition to oppose Trump, You know,
323
00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:08.480
that's like totally 2016. That has been tried. It's been done.
324
00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:12.079
The world leaders, every time Trump shows up just about anywhere,
325
00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:14.140
they couldn't be more than excited to have him there.
326
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.640
And clearly, Trump has made it clear that trying to
327
00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:21.789
oppose him just for the sake of whatever reason somebody
328
00:18:21.809 --> 00:18:24.009
want to oppose him, it has detrimental consequences to your
329
00:18:24.069 --> 00:18:27.950
economy and other strategic partnerships. Now, I don't know why
330
00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:30.170
Carney thinks he can cozy up to China when China
331
00:18:30.190 --> 00:18:32.390
is You know, Xi Jinping is going to be in
332
00:18:32.410 --> 00:18:34.819
the United States next week. Trump is going to meet him.
333
00:18:34.869 --> 00:18:37.269
It was reported that Trump's going to meet him at
334
00:18:37.309 --> 00:18:41.319
Joint Base Andrews here in the United States. Clearly, Trump
335
00:18:41.710 --> 00:18:45.660
and China have a much bigger opportunity for trade deals
336
00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:47.759
than Carney could ever hope to have with China. So
337
00:18:47.779 --> 00:18:49.539
at the end of the day, this whole temper tantrum,
338
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.200
this whole trying to push back against Trump to make
339
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.480
a name for himself, going to cozy up, to Europe
340
00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.160
and become this associate member, whatever. It doesn't even exist, status.
341
00:18:58.609 --> 00:19:01.170
And somehow that's going to make Canadians more proud. The
342
00:19:01.269 --> 00:19:03.329
only thing that's going to make Canadians proud is a
343
00:19:03.369 --> 00:19:06.109
better trade deal with their closest trading partner. So all
344
00:19:06.150 --> 00:19:08.269
the rest of this is all ego. So how do
345
00:19:08.289 --> 00:19:12.880
the Canadian people feel about their prime minister flying around
346
00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:16.380
the world to boost his ego rather than making practical
347
00:19:16.420 --> 00:19:18.099
trade deals with the United States?
348
00:19:19.450 --> 00:19:21.150
Well, this is the worrying thing, Mr.
349
00:19:21.190 --> 00:19:21.509
Pollack.
350
00:19:21.769 --> 00:19:25.710
Last I checked with public opinion polling, 75% of Canadians
351
00:19:26.130 --> 00:19:27.049
want to do this.
352
00:19:27.529 --> 00:19:29.170
Again, why? Because Mr.
353
00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:33.079
Carney is someone who gained electoral success and became prime
354
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:38.660
minister through anti-Trumpism and anti-Americanism. That's the excuse, the rhetorical
355
00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:41.740
excuse he's been using to push us towards China. And
356
00:19:41.779 --> 00:19:45.819
again- It's not even an economic issue. It's laughable for
357
00:19:45.859 --> 00:19:49.069
this very reason. Our friendship with the United States is
358
00:19:49.130 --> 00:19:53.630
a trillion dollars. friendship. Our friendship, in quotes, with the
359
00:19:53.789 --> 00:19:59.359
EU is a meager $ 100 million US. They are hardly comparable.
360
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.599
But again, what is this really about?
361
00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:03.220
Well, the EU.
362
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:06.539
Happens to have been identified by Mr. Peter Navarro as
363
00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:10.420
one of the greatest culprits of transshipment. So what we're
364
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:13.109
seeing here is a kind of alliance of a Chinese
365
00:20:13.190 --> 00:20:17.970
black market in order to subvert and penetrate the American market.
366
00:20:18.369 --> 00:20:21.170
So what Mr. Carney, I believe, is up to is
367
00:20:21.650 --> 00:20:27.710
going through Europe and going through the EU and helping China, again, relabel, repackage,
368
00:20:27.809 --> 00:20:30.950
rename their goods and attempt to get them into the
369
00:20:30.970 --> 00:20:34.670
United States. We must remember, which Canadians love to forget,
370
00:20:34.670 --> 00:20:39.269
80% of goods under China the USMCA or KUSMA, as
371
00:20:39.309 --> 00:20:42.089
we call it in Canada, are not tariffed. This is
372
00:20:42.269 --> 00:20:45.609
all an argument over 20% of goods. But if you
373
00:20:45.650 --> 00:20:48.950
were to ask Canadians, because of our state media firewall,
374
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.200
they would be under the impression that we're being tariffed
375
00:20:52.220 --> 00:20:56.240
on 100% of our goods. So again, the most dangerous
376
00:20:56.299 --> 00:20:59.500
part about Mr. Carney is this. He is a true
377
00:20:59.579 --> 00:21:03.160
believer in the China project. He believes that the future
378
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.190
belongs to Beijing. and he is actively betting against Western
379
00:21:07.250 --> 00:21:11.269
civilization and serving Canada on a platter to the CCP.
380
00:21:11.650 --> 00:21:14.960
He is nothing if not Canada last, and that's who's
381
00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:15.759
going to suffer.
382
00:21:16.380 --> 00:21:19.099
Yeah, and it's, you know, socialists stick together, I guess,
383
00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:21.859
and China being the biggest socialist in the room. Why,
384
00:21:21.900 --> 00:21:25.220
you know, have a good relationship with your friends in
385
00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:27.539
the South that's democratic when you could just go make
386
00:21:27.579 --> 00:21:31.349
friends with socialists in China? So, look, it scares me
387
00:21:31.380 --> 00:21:33.990
that 75% of Canadians think this is a good idea.
388
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:37.690
The spread of socialism is a dangerous thing. Dimpy, thank
389
00:21:37.710 --> 00:21:39.789
you so much for being here, as always. And I
390
00:21:39.789 --> 00:21:41.049
look forward to talking to you again real soon. Good
391
00:21:41.089 --> 00:21:42.650
luck north of the border.
392
00:21:42.670 --> 00:21:44.890
Thank you so much.
393
00:21:44.950 --> 00:21:45.799
Have a great day.
394
00:21:45.819 --> 00:21:51.450
You too. Coming up, the Kennedy Center, well, it's falling apart.
395
00:21:51.869 --> 00:21:55.609
President Trump has the money to fix it and a plan,
396
00:21:56.130 --> 00:21:59.150
and the left is fighting him at every step. Why
397
00:21:59.190 --> 00:22:02.119
they would rather let the Kennedy Center rot than let
398
00:22:02.180 --> 00:22:05.319
Trump get any credit. That's coming up next.
399
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:12.779

409
00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:49.210
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, one
410
00:22:49.309 --> 00:22:52.190
of the crown jewels of our nation's capital, well, it's
411
00:22:52.230 --> 00:22:57.089
falling apart, and that's not an opinion. It's the actual
412
00:22:57.170 --> 00:23:00.609
finding of the center's own board, which just voted unanimously
413
00:23:00.650 --> 00:23:03.990
to shut the building down, calling its financial and physical condition,
414
00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:08.339
in their word, dire. The place is literally crumbling. Now,
415
00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:11.220
there is a man with a plan to fix it,
416
00:23:11.619 --> 00:23:15.220
a builder named Donald Trump, As chairman of the Kennedy Center,
417
00:23:15.619 --> 00:23:18.960
the president has a nearly $ 300 million restoration on the
418
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:24.529
table with $ 257 million of it already appropriated by Congress
419
00:23:24.769 --> 00:23:27.670
to rebuild the center into a world-class venue that it's
420
00:23:27.690 --> 00:23:30.910
supposed to be. Money is there. The plan is there.
421
00:23:30.970 --> 00:23:34.450
So why is the Kennedy Center sitting closed and dark
422
00:23:34.529 --> 00:23:38.349
with the ceiling crumbling down with a tarp hanging over
423
00:23:38.390 --> 00:23:42.950
its facade instead of being rebuilt? Well... That's because at
424
00:23:43.029 --> 00:23:47.230
every single turn, this president is being fought. A coalition
425
00:23:47.250 --> 00:23:50.880
of activist groups hauled the entire project into federal court,
426
00:23:51.210 --> 00:23:55.119
tying the renovation up in litigation in the name of preservation.
427
00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:57.920
And a federal judge has now ruled twice that the
428
00:23:57.980 --> 00:24:01.079
board is not even allowed to put the president's name
429
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:04.920
on the building to recognize the man leading its restoration.
430
00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:08.720
They say Congress named it for John F. Kennedy, the
431
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:12.650
judge says, and no one else. may be honored there,
432
00:24:12.750 --> 00:24:16.289
not even the person restoring it. And the president, well,
433
00:24:16.309 --> 00:24:18.930
he's drawn a line. He said plainly that he is
434
00:24:19.009 --> 00:24:23.579
not going to pour a monumental restoration into that building
435
00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:26.220
only to have a hostile court strip his name off
436
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:30.140
of it. He's right. And this moves forward when the
437
00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:33.299
fight is settled. That's his position. And underneath all of this,
438
00:24:34.069 --> 00:24:37.670
The very same people who have spent years lecturing you
439
00:24:37.750 --> 00:24:40.089
that they are the great guardians of the arts, the
440
00:24:40.130 --> 00:24:45.519
protectors of our cultural institutions. Well, they'd rather watch the
441
00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:48.779
Kennedy Center crumble into the Potomac than let Donald Trump
442
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.349
be the one who saves it. Because if he rebuilds it,
443
00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:54.960
he gets the credit. If he puts his name on it, well,
444
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:59.420
to them, that is worse than letting it fall down.
445
00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:02.470
And my next guest has been watching this whole fight. Close-up.
446
00:25:02.849 --> 00:25:05.589
Bill Walton, thank you so much for being here, my friend.
447
00:25:05.609 --> 00:25:05.750
Um....
448
00:25:08.579 --> 00:25:11.119
We've seen this every time the president tries to restore something,
449
00:25:11.140 --> 00:25:13.460
do something, the left blocks it. They try to block
450
00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:17.119
the East wing renovation. They try to, they, they vandalize
451
00:25:17.180 --> 00:25:20.740
the reflection pool. I mean, literally everything they could do
452
00:25:20.779 --> 00:25:23.079
to stop the beautification of DC. And this is just
453
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.220
the latest step now using the courts. What do you
454
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:25.640
make of this?
455
00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:30.420
Well, you know, it's not about a renovation fight. It's
456
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:34.329
about a name. And, and the name is Donald John Trump. And, uh,
457
00:25:37.250 --> 00:25:39.730
I voted for Donald three times and would vote for
458
00:25:39.769 --> 00:25:41.930
him again, but I don't think he's really handled this
459
00:25:42.029 --> 00:25:47.230
with kid gloves. I was president of the National Symphony
460
00:25:47.309 --> 00:25:50.259
Orchestra at the Kennedy Center and know a lot about
461
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:52.220
the inside of the building and know a lot about
462
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:54.359
the finances and know what kind of shape it's in.
463
00:25:54.859 --> 00:25:57.200
I also know who the donors are. And the donors
464
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:00.880
to the Kennedy Center, when you get a Republican administration,
465
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.230
you get some more Republicans. But generally speaking, it reflects
466
00:26:04.289 --> 00:26:08.400
the fact that Ninety five percent of D.C. voted for
467
00:26:08.460 --> 00:26:11.619
somebody else besides Donald Trump. And that's those are really
468
00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:16.089
the people who are insiders there. And then also, you know,
469
00:26:16.130 --> 00:26:19.349
the artist community, for all the reasons we know, they're
470
00:26:19.410 --> 00:26:21.470
not going to not going to come to a center
471
00:26:21.529 --> 00:26:23.849
named Trump because of blah, blah, blah. We've heard that
472
00:26:23.890 --> 00:26:27.430
that tired old thing. But it's it's it's an impasse
473
00:26:27.450 --> 00:26:31.240
that unfortunately is personal. And as a former M &
474
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.710
A guy, I don't know quite how they resolve it.
475
00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:36.509
I mean, he's taken his position that unless his name
476
00:26:36.569 --> 00:26:39.769
is on it, he's not going to start the renovation.
477
00:26:40.130 --> 00:26:42.990
And they're taking the position that they're not going to
478
00:26:43.029 --> 00:26:46.450
do it. It would take a 60 vote majority in
479
00:26:46.470 --> 00:26:50.349
the Senate to get that done through Congress. That's not
480
00:26:50.369 --> 00:26:54.910
going to happen. So it's a standoff right now. And
481
00:26:54.950 --> 00:26:57.829
I'm not quite sure who's going to blink. I mean,
482
00:26:57.930 --> 00:27:00.650
for me, it's a very This is a tough one,
483
00:27:00.710 --> 00:27:05.250
because I fear, and if I were a betting man,
484
00:27:05.349 --> 00:27:07.990
I would think that the National Symphony Orchestra is going
485
00:27:08.009 --> 00:27:12.849
to disappear when they lose the Kennedy Center home, and
486
00:27:12.910 --> 00:27:16.410
also they're going on the road to smaller, to other theaters.
487
00:27:16.509 --> 00:27:19.950
But Kennedy Center provided about $ 10 million a year to
488
00:27:19.970 --> 00:27:23.410
the symphony, and without that subsidy, they can't meet payroll.
489
00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:27.829
And Basically, all a symphony orchestra is is musicians with
490
00:27:27.869 --> 00:27:30.490
a contract. And if you can't meet the terms of
491
00:27:30.529 --> 00:27:34.910
the contract, then I think we're going to see that go.
492
00:27:35.769 --> 00:27:38.210
Not only the Kennedy Center building is a problem, but
493
00:27:38.609 --> 00:27:41.109
that institution is in danger.
494
00:27:42.059 --> 00:27:45.619
Well, look, there's a group, an activist group. I think
495
00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:48.589
it's Tonight. They're going to form a human chain around
496
00:27:48.650 --> 00:27:51.670
the Kennedy Center. Have you seen this? I forget what
497
00:27:51.710 --> 00:27:53.230
the name of the group is. Yes. So now they're
498
00:27:53.250 --> 00:27:55.630
going to they're going to come out and they're going
499
00:27:55.670 --> 00:28:00.390
to put their hands around the Kennedy Center. They're basically
500
00:28:00.430 --> 00:28:02.789
saying that this is this is president can't do anything
501
00:28:02.809 --> 00:28:04.650
about it. And they're going to protest. I'll tell you
502
00:28:04.670 --> 00:28:08.029
what's interesting about this bill. It's that President Trump was
503
00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:12.390
seen on Air Force One. With a picture.
504
00:28:13.069 --> 00:28:13.750
I saw that.
505
00:28:13.769 --> 00:28:16.930
Yeah, you saw that in that picture. He was seen
506
00:28:16.950 --> 00:28:20.910
with that picture and it said the demolition of the
507
00:28:20.930 --> 00:28:24.490
Kennedy Center. This is an actually interesting twist. And of course,
508
00:28:24.509 --> 00:28:28.450
that wasn't leaked unintentionally because the Kennedy Center, if it
509
00:28:28.470 --> 00:28:31.130
can't be renamed and it's held up in court and
510
00:28:31.269 --> 00:28:33.250
it would take 60 votes, like you mentioned, in the
511
00:28:33.289 --> 00:28:36.359
Senate to get it renamed. Well, what's really interesting is
512
00:28:36.859 --> 00:28:38.940
what if the Kennedy Center has to be demolished because
513
00:28:38.980 --> 00:28:41.329
it can't be renovated and there's no money to restore it?
514
00:28:41.869 --> 00:28:44.690
What you rebuild in the footprint of the Kennedy Center
515
00:28:45.170 --> 00:28:48.890
can certainly be named the Trump Center. So what is
516
00:28:48.930 --> 00:28:51.089
the outcome if this thing ends up in a stalemate
517
00:28:51.109 --> 00:28:51.450
in court?
518
00:28:52.490 --> 00:28:54.349
Well, you could name it the Trump Library.
519
00:28:56.809 --> 00:28:58.990
Or you could put up something, you know, something even
520
00:28:59.029 --> 00:28:59.490
bigger than that.
521
00:28:59.630 --> 00:29:00.210
I don't know.
522
00:29:00.450 --> 00:29:02.730
It's really this is about ego.
523
00:29:03.569 --> 00:29:07.059
This is about Trump hatred. This is about Trump correctly
524
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:11.410
assessing that the arts community has been absolutely hostile to
525
00:29:11.470 --> 00:29:15.869
him in every possible way. And so, you know, for him,
526
00:29:15.910 --> 00:29:17.910
it was payback time. He did this in the first
527
00:29:17.970 --> 00:29:22.769
month after he was inaugurated and removed the entire board,
528
00:29:22.829 --> 00:29:26.390
not the entire board, but most all the Democrats that
529
00:29:26.410 --> 00:29:31.420
weren't required to be on by, I think, a congressional mandate.
530
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.700
So he's got a friendly board there, but they don't.
531
00:29:35.519 --> 00:29:38.349
They've been unable to get somebody to be executive director
532
00:29:38.410 --> 00:29:42.440
who knows much about the performing arts. arts, and the
533
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.779
board doesn't. So maybe I'd be looking for a job.
534
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:50.670
I think they need somebody who knows how to run
535
00:29:50.710 --> 00:29:55.210
a performing arts organization, because right now I don't see
536
00:29:55.250 --> 00:29:58.269
a line of action, and I fear that the symphony...
537
00:29:58.460 --> 00:30:02.940
without the subsidy from the Kennedy Center, won't be able
538
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:06.519
to meet payroll. I think we're going to see a
539
00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:13.480
lot of violinists with their resumes on the street. This
540
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:18.140
is one where I like lines of action. I say, okay,
541
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:20.329
we can do this, that, and the other. About the
542
00:30:20.369 --> 00:30:23.890
only thing that I think might work is if Donald
543
00:30:24.190 --> 00:30:28.220
Trump makes a wise decision that maybe he doesn't need
544
00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:30.799
his name on the building. Maybe he needs his name
545
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:36.329
someplace else, on a donor's wall, on a display that
546
00:30:36.630 --> 00:30:39.569
then thanks him for the work he's done in fixing it.
547
00:30:39.609 --> 00:30:41.549
And by the way, there was some stuff. There were
548
00:30:41.569 --> 00:30:44.869
a couple of additions to the Kennedy Center during Biden's
549
00:30:44.890 --> 00:30:50.099
administration that were terrible, terrible architecture. They're unusable spaces. So
550
00:30:50.380 --> 00:30:52.839
it's not exactly like the Kennedy Center was well run
551
00:30:52.859 --> 00:30:54.519
when he came in. It was just the opposite.
552
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:56.980
Bill Walton, thank you so much for being here as always.
553
00:30:57.019 --> 00:30:57.680
Great takes on this.
554
00:30:58.589 --> 00:30:59.190
Great, thanks.
555
00:31:00.890 --> 00:31:06.240
When we come back, a story to restore your faith
556
00:31:06.380 --> 00:31:11.869
in humanity. A stolen Tesla barrels down a San Diego boardwalk,
557
00:31:12.109 --> 00:31:16.019
hits a woman, and one man chases the driver down,
558
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:19.460
pins him down, holds him there for the police, and
559
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:23.309
he captures the entire thing on his metaglasses. I have
560
00:31:23.349 --> 00:31:26.230
the Good Samaritan himself joining me right after this.
561

Now I got a story for you tonight that's going
572
00:32:08.529 --> 00:32:11.589
to restore a little of your faith in people. Earlier
573
00:32:11.630 --> 00:32:15.450
this week, on the boardwalk in Pacific Beach in San Diego,
574
00:32:16.099 --> 00:32:19.500
a place packed with families, joggers, kids on bikes, people
575
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:23.039
just ENJOYING A BEAUTIFUL DAY BY THE OCEAN, A MAN
576
00:32:23.220 --> 00:32:28.380
IN A STOLEN TESLA CAME BARRELING DOWN THE BOARDWALK AT
577
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:32.910
HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HE HAD ALREADY RUN FROM THE POLICE. HE
578
00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:36.789
HAD ALREADY SMASHED HIS WAY THROUGH TRAFFIC AND SLAMMED INTO
579
00:32:36.910 --> 00:32:40.130
A POWER TRANSFORMER. AND THEN HE WAS TEARING DOWN A
580
00:32:40.150 --> 00:32:44.190
PEDESTRIAN BOARDWALK, STRIKING A 25-YEAR-OLD WOMAN, LEAVING HER CRITICALLY INJURED
581
00:32:44.250 --> 00:32:48.309
AND JUST BARELY MISSING HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEDESTRIANS AS THEY
582
00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:51.589
JUMPED OUT OF HIS WAY. Then he stopped the car,
583
00:32:52.250 --> 00:32:55.730
jumped out and ran. But he picked the wrong boardwalk
584
00:32:55.750 --> 00:32:59.380
because a man named Alex Rohr, who had just been
585
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:03.279
nearly run down by that same Tesla himself. Well, he
586
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:07.259
didn't look away. Instead, he took off after him. And
587
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:09.740
here's the part that makes this story the perfect story.
588
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:13.279
For the age we live in, Alex was wearing a
589
00:33:13.299 --> 00:33:16.920
pair of MetaSmart glasses with a camera built right into them.
590
00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:20.190
So as he chased this suspect down, tackled him, and
591
00:33:20.269 --> 00:33:22.730
pinned him to the ground until the police could get there,
592
00:33:23.309 --> 00:33:25.809
he captured the entire thing start to finish through his
593
00:33:25.890 --> 00:33:36.049
own eyes. Take a look. What the f * * *? Yo,
594
00:33:36.069 --> 00:33:37.769
get him! Get him! Get this f * * *
595
00:33:37.430 --> 00:33:38.430

00:33:50.650 --> 00:33:53.369
Get this f * * * ing guy, bro! What
600
00:33:53.410 --> 00:33:53.799
the f * * *.
601
00:33:53.769 --> 00:33:55.410
Is your f * * * ing issue, dawg?
602
00:33:56.380 --> 00:33:57.680
Get the f * * * on the ground.
603
00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:59.119
B * * * h! What the f * *
604
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:00.680

00:34:03.710 --> 00:34:03.799
f * * *?
607
00:34:03.829 --> 00:34:04.789
What the f.
608
00:34:04.670 --> 00:34:05.869
* * * is your problem?
609
00:34:06.329 --> 00:34:07.789
You're trying to f * * * ing kill people!
610
00:34:07.809 --> 00:34:11.239
No! F * * * ing stay down! You're f

00:34:11.239 --> 00:34:11.989

612
00:34:13.449 --> 00:34:14.460
You're f * * * ing.
613
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:22.610
Crazy, dude! What the f * * * is your problem? NO, DUDE!
614
00:34:22.989 --> 00:34:23.869
STAY ON THE GROUND!
615
00:34:24.750 --> 00:34:29.429
NO! NO! A CITIZEN, JUST A GUY OUT FOR THE
616
00:34:29.510 --> 00:34:32.630
DAY WHO SAW SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENING AND HE DECIDED HE
617
00:34:32.670 --> 00:34:35.409
WASN'T GOING TO LET IT STAND. A CULTURE THAT CONSTANTLY
618
00:34:35.429 --> 00:34:38.409
TELLS YOU MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS TO KEEP PEOPLE'S HEADS DOWN.
619
00:34:38.449 --> 00:34:40.289
WE SEE IT ALL THE TIME. EVERYONE JUST STARING AT
620
00:34:40.309 --> 00:34:42.650
THEIR PHONE AND LOOKING ANOTHER WAY OR JUST WORSE RECORDING
621
00:34:42.690 --> 00:34:46.780
IT WHILE NOBODY DOES ANYTHING. This guy ran towards the danger,
622
00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:49.460
apprehended the man that critically injured a woman and almost
623
00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:53.300
killed hundreds of others. This is how heroes are born,
624
00:34:53.739 --> 00:34:56.000
and he joins me now with the story. So, Alex,
625
00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:59.699
what a story, because I live right near where this
626
00:34:59.820 --> 00:35:03.570
incident happened. I hang out at that bar sometimes where
627
00:35:03.630 --> 00:35:07.070
that car stopped, and I saw the video, and we
628
00:35:07.210 --> 00:35:09.969
were like, that's right there. So compelling to see what
629
00:35:09.989 --> 00:35:13.570
you did. Walk me through what happened, because... I mean,
630
00:35:13.590 --> 00:35:15.590
that's something that I just, you just don't see every day.
631
00:35:16.329 --> 00:35:16.889
Yeah, man.
632
00:35:16.949 --> 00:35:20.739
So like I was, you know, normal day after work,
633
00:35:20.820 --> 00:35:23.079
I was going on my bike ride, you know, to
634
00:35:23.099 --> 00:35:27.780
the beach on the boardwalk. And I'm like, just going
635
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.059
my normal route. It's like my third time up and down.
636
00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:33.059
And I hear somebody behind me scream, watch out. And
637
00:35:33.079 --> 00:35:34.539
I hear a bunch of police sirens. So I'm like,
638
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.800
what's going on? So I look behind me and there's
639
00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:40.619
just a Tesla just like flying on the boardwalk, like
640
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:42.889
where cars are not even supposed to, you know, be at.
641
00:35:43.900 --> 00:35:47.980
And so like he, he, he hits my bike and
642
00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:50.360
it caused me to like fall to the side of
643
00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:51.480
the boardwalk.
644
00:35:52.300 --> 00:35:54.139
And then I'm like shocked.
645
00:35:54.159 --> 00:35:57.409
Like I'm thinking like, well, my mind's like full of
646
00:35:57.610 --> 00:35:59.530
a lot of stuff, but I was thinking like, do
647
00:35:59.570 --> 00:36:01.570
I chase this guy or do I not chase this guy?
648
00:36:02.250 --> 00:36:04.530
And then I guess, you know, I was scared and angry.
649
00:36:04.610 --> 00:36:06.789
So I started chasing him and thank God I had some,
650
00:36:06.809 --> 00:36:09.070
you know, really great people with me that came and
651
00:36:09.110 --> 00:36:10.130
chased him with me.
652
00:36:10.889 --> 00:36:12.610
And we went all the way.
653
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:14.849
You know, probably like a quarter mile to like a
654
00:36:14.869 --> 00:36:16.889
parking lot, and that's where I pushed him, and then
655
00:36:16.949 --> 00:36:19.909
he fell to the ground. And that's where we held
656
00:36:19.949 --> 00:36:22.250
him down for three or four minutes until the police came,
657
00:36:23.289 --> 00:36:25.409
and that's where I was screaming at him the whole time.
658
00:36:26.349 --> 00:36:29.070
Yeah, and what's so compelling about that video, not only
659
00:36:29.110 --> 00:36:30.760
when you saw that Tesla fly by at the rate
660
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:32.679
of speed, and it did, because there's a video from,
661
00:36:32.699 --> 00:36:34.199
I think, the ice cream shop when you see the
662
00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:37.019
Tesla just flying by, and you see people jumping out
663
00:36:37.059 --> 00:36:39.690
of the way. And for people who don't have never
664
00:36:39.730 --> 00:36:42.630
been on that boardwalk there in San Diego, that is
665
00:36:42.820 --> 00:36:46.159
it's always has people walking or biking, kids with strollers,
666
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:49.119
people with dogs. I mean, and one woman was hit
667
00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:50.840
a 25 year old in critical condition. I don't know
668
00:36:50.860 --> 00:36:54.559
what her condition is now, but I can't believe for
669
00:36:54.619 --> 00:36:57.210
even a second that more people weren't struck by this vehicle.
670
00:36:57.469 --> 00:36:59.150
Thank God it was a Monday afternoon. Maybe it was
671
00:36:59.170 --> 00:37:01.250
a little bit slower. But when I saw you run
672
00:37:01.349 --> 00:37:03.989
after him and we first of all, I mean, it
673
00:37:04.010 --> 00:37:05.570
was just shocking to see it, but he ran fast.
674
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:08.079
I see you run after him. And in my mind
675
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:09.940
the whole time, I'm like, this guy just stole a car.
676
00:37:10.219 --> 00:37:12.869
What if he's armed? You didn't even flinch for a second.
677
00:37:12.889 --> 00:37:14.809
You're like, I'm chasing this guy down. I'm going to
678
00:37:14.829 --> 00:37:16.210
hold him down. And you told him, he's like, let
679
00:37:16.250 --> 00:37:17.929
me leave. I don't want to get arrested. And you're like,
680
00:37:17.949 --> 00:37:21.199
you're not going anywhere. My heart was racing watching that.
681
00:37:21.219 --> 00:37:23.739
Were you even thinking about the consequences of it? Or
682
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:26.119
were you just so caught up in the moment, you're like,
683
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:28.039
this guy is not leaving. I want this guy to
684
00:37:28.099 --> 00:37:29.260
pay for what he did.
685
00:37:30.070 --> 00:37:32.969
Yeah, I definitely thought he could have a gun or
686
00:37:33.010 --> 00:37:34.969
he was armed. But I saw him get out the
687
00:37:35.010 --> 00:37:38.059
car and he kind of just looked like... I don't know, he.
688
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:40.500
Just didn't... He didn't look armed?
689
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:43.659
He didn't look like he was armed or anything like that.
690
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:45.719
And I guess I was just thinking in my head,
691
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.239
I need to get this guy. He almost killed me.
692
00:37:47.260 --> 00:37:51.800
I was so angry and my adrenaline was pumping through me.
693
00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:54.889
I was saying stuff that I... Never really say, like,
694
00:37:54.949 --> 00:37:57.409
repeating the same stuff, but, like, hopefully people understand that, like,
695
00:37:57.469 --> 00:38:00.619
repeating the same stuff, that's because it's adrenaline, but.
696
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.400
I mean, clearly, you were in the... I mean, you
697
00:38:03.420 --> 00:38:05.619
almost got run over. Then you chased the guy who
698
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:07.840
could have been armed. So, yeah, I can understand you
699
00:38:07.860 --> 00:38:10.219
dropping a few F-bombs. I would have done the same thing.
700
00:38:11.389 --> 00:38:13.550
There's two really interesting things here, and you can see him.
701
00:38:13.829 --> 00:38:16.730
He was wearing an F-around-and-find-out shirt. Did you notice that?
702
00:38:16.769 --> 00:38:16.829
No.
703
00:38:17.929 --> 00:38:21.380
No, I didn't notice it until after the fact. It's
704
00:38:21.409 --> 00:38:23.900
the most ironic thing ever that he's wearing that shirt and.
705
00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:24.559
He did what he did.
706
00:38:24.659 --> 00:38:25.679
Well, and he found out.
707
00:38:25.699 --> 00:38:27.420
Oh, he definitely found out.
708
00:38:28.110 --> 00:38:29.230
He could have found out more.
709
00:38:29.250 --> 00:38:32.670
Yeah, and that was actually surprising. A lot of people commented,
710
00:38:32.690 --> 00:38:35.699
I can't believe, People didn't jump on him, start hitting
711
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:37.980
him or kicking him or assault him because he almost
712
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:39.280
killed a lot of people. There were a lot of
713
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:43.019
people upset. And yet everybody sort of came together and
714
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:44.920
held and made sure he stayed. But now you held
715
00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:46.860
on top of him. He didn't try to leave. Did
716
00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:48.500
you get the sense at that point? He just kind
717
00:38:48.539 --> 00:38:50.239
of gave up and he said, I'm caught. And he
718
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:52.230
didn't try to fight you because he didn't like he'd
719
00:38:52.269 --> 00:38:53.869
even try to get up. He just kind of laid there.
720
00:38:53.889 --> 00:38:55.239
Yeah. For sure.
721
00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:57.159
Like, maybe at the first minute he was trying to
722
00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:58.989
get up, but then after he noticed that, like, there
723
00:38:59.010 --> 00:39:01.349
was me and other people around me, too, he just
724
00:39:01.369 --> 00:39:03.130
didn't even try anymore. And I also was, like, I
725
00:39:03.130 --> 00:39:04.809
was putting a lot of pressure on his stomach the
726
00:39:04.829 --> 00:39:07.150
whole time with my knees, so he couldn't really move.
727
00:39:07.989 --> 00:39:11.150
Now, you know, you see stories like this all the time.
728
00:39:11.190 --> 00:39:13.760
I mean, people on trains or people in different places
729
00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:16.099
where they step up and they try to be a
730
00:39:16.139 --> 00:39:18.539
hero to really save some people. Did it go through
731
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.239
your mind at any moment when you were holding him
732
00:39:20.260 --> 00:39:22.059
down that you can get in trouble for it, as
733
00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:24.199
ridiculous as that might sound, or it didn't matter?
734
00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:26.800
That's why i didn't hit him that's why i didn't
735
00:39:26.820 --> 00:39:28.440
hit him because like i was scared that i could
736
00:39:28.460 --> 00:39:30.869
get in trouble if i even slapped him like i
737
00:39:30.889 --> 00:39:33.670
wanted to slap him at least but i i didn't
738
00:39:33.710 --> 00:39:35.710
even want to touch him besides holding him down you know.
739
00:39:36.170 --> 00:39:39.159
Yeah, and that is why so many people are afraid
740
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:41.679
to get involved these days because you hear stories about
741
00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:47.099
people stepping up and instead, you know, they're prosecuted for it.
742
00:39:47.460 --> 00:39:50.219
And so I'm glad you said, you know what, it
743
00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:52.539
doesn't matter. I'm going to catch this guy because, you know,
744
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:54.880
he could have got away. Three minutes, almost four minutes,
745
00:39:54.900 --> 00:39:57.360
you're holding him down. That must have seemed like an eternity, right?
746
00:39:57.679 --> 00:39:57.980
Oh, yeah.
747
00:39:58.139 --> 00:40:00.849
It felt so long, but I'm so glad that I
748
00:40:00.889 --> 00:40:02.530
have people with me because if it wasn't, if it
749
00:40:02.550 --> 00:40:04.190
was just me, I think he would have tried to
750
00:40:04.230 --> 00:40:05.070
fight his way out of it.
751
00:40:06.210 --> 00:40:10.260
Yeah, it was incredible. What has happened in the aftermath
752
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:11.719
of that? Because I see that he was apprehended. He
753
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.739
got arrested and all of that. But as far as you,
754
00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:15.199
I mean, I've seen you on a couple of news
755
00:40:15.260 --> 00:40:17.800
networks now. I mean, what's happened to your life after
756
00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:22.739
becoming the hero of Pacific Beach and apprehending a fleeing felon?
757
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:27.110
It's so weird because I'm getting so many messages and stuff,
758
00:40:27.130 --> 00:40:29.230
and I'm also getting noticed. I just went to the
759
00:40:29.269 --> 00:40:33.289
beach yesterday and the day before after. I still bike
760
00:40:33.309 --> 00:40:35.969
that path still to this day, and I'm still going.
761
00:40:36.510 --> 00:40:37.409
And people notice me.
762
00:40:37.429 --> 00:40:38.440
People recognize me, and it's.
763
00:40:38.380 --> 00:40:38.880
Kind of cool.
764
00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:41.239
I mean, I've gotten a lot of attention from this.
765
00:40:41.500 --> 00:40:44.280
I noticed that it's even going around the world. Other
766
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:47.800
countries are even broadcasting it on their stations, so it's
767
00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:48.320
pretty cool.
768
00:40:49.139 --> 00:40:51.969
Yeah, I mean, look, you did a brave and heroic
769
00:40:51.989 --> 00:40:55.280
and incredible thing I hope people in Washington see what
770
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:58.320
you did. And look, California is making a lot of news.
771
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:01.059
There was those two lifeguards who rescued that boy. They
772
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:03.449
were invited to the White House. Now you're chasing down
773
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.329
felons and holding them down for police. I'm telling you,
774
00:41:06.530 --> 00:41:10.230
California is really becoming a state of heroes and certainly
775
00:41:10.329 --> 00:41:13.510
one of them. Alex, great job. Thank you for apprehending
776
00:41:13.530 --> 00:41:15.389
that guy so he couldn't go out and hurt more people.
777
00:41:15.610 --> 00:41:18.610
You saved lives that day and- It was really brave.
778
00:41:18.659 --> 00:41:20.719
And I'm glad you're wearing those meta glasses. What a
779
00:41:20.739 --> 00:41:24.800
world we live in. Congratulations on an incredible apprehension. And
780
00:41:24.860 --> 00:41:27.119
thanks again for your heroic work stopping that guy.
781
00:41:27.139 --> 00:41:29.059
Of course, man.
782
00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:29.940
Thank you.
783
00:41:30.179 --> 00:41:35.329
Thank you. Still ahead, it's Fired Up Friday. Mitch McConnell,
784
00:41:35.610 --> 00:41:38.809
he's back. But this week, fellow senators had to lean
785
00:41:38.869 --> 00:41:42.150
in and tell him how to vote. It's on tape.
786
00:41:42.190 --> 00:41:44.630
It really actually happened. And there's really, has there ever
787
00:41:44.650 --> 00:41:47.510
been a stronger case for term limits? I have Chad
788
00:41:47.530 --> 00:41:49.650
Caton on to talk about that right after this. Don't
789
00:41:49.690 --> 00:41:50.050
go anywhere.

Talk you can't get anywhere else. Well, it is the
802
00:42:34.019 --> 00:42:37.449
end of a very interesting Newsweek, and One of the
803
00:42:37.489 --> 00:42:41.610
wildest stories of the week was the return of Mitch McConnell.
804
00:42:42.590 --> 00:42:47.199
For three months, Senator Mitch McConnell vanished, 92 days gone,
805
00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:51.039
after a fall at his home in June. His office
806
00:42:51.059 --> 00:42:53.019
said almost nothing and the country was left to wonder
807
00:42:53.059 --> 00:42:57.389
if he was even alive. Then on Monday, they wheeled
808
00:42:57.449 --> 00:43:00.710
him back onto the Senate floor, frail in a wheelchair,
809
00:43:00.769 --> 00:43:04.960
speaking slowly, if at all, very audible. TO THE REPORTERS
810
00:43:05.000 --> 00:43:07.820
WHO WERE CONVENIENTLY NOT ALLOWED TO FILM HIM. AND THEN,
811
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:12.179
BY THE WAY, CAME WEDNESDAY. AND WEDNESDAY WE GOT TO
812
00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:14.599
SEE IT FOR OURSELVES IN A COMMITTEE HEARING ON THE
813
00:43:14.659 --> 00:43:18.139
FARM BILL. THEY WHEELED SENATOR MCCONNELL IN. AND WHEN THEY
814
00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:23.099
CALLED HIS NAME TO VOTE, HE FROZE. HE APPEARED CONFUSED.
815
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:25.860
HE STARTED TO VOTE NO, WHICH WOULD HAVE HANDED THE
816
00:43:25.900 --> 00:43:28.980
WIND TO THE DEMOCRATS. AND THEN YOU COULD WATCH AS
817
00:43:29.260 --> 00:43:35.130
HIS PEOPLE RUN OVER AND KIND OF TELL A BIZARRE SCENE.
818
00:43:35.889 --> 00:43:38.750
REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN HIS OWN STEP, THEY LEANED IN AND
819
00:43:38.789 --> 00:43:42.929
WHISPERED TO CORRECT HIM. HOW IS THAT OKAY? THEY CALLED
820
00:43:42.949 --> 00:43:45.449
HIS NAME TWICE, BY THE WAY, AND FINALLY HE LIFTED
821
00:43:45.469 --> 00:43:50.099
THE FINGER AND SAID, AYE. HAD TO SHOW A SITTING
822
00:43:50.159 --> 00:43:52.260
SENATOR HOW TO VOTE. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW.
823
00:43:52.579 --> 00:43:54.179
AND THIS IS A MAN WHO HAS BEEN IN THE
824
00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:57.380
UNITED STATES SENATE FOR OVER 40 YEARS. HE SAT ON
825
00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:59.659
THE VERY COMMITTEE SINCE 1985, LONGER THAN SOME OF YOU
826
00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:02.980
HAVE BEEN ALIVE. And now he has to be told
827
00:44:03.699 --> 00:44:07.480
which way to push the button? Seriously? An 84-year-old man
828
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.500
who disappeared for three months, who had to be prompted
829
00:44:10.539 --> 00:44:13.989
through a committee? HE'S HOLDING ONE OF A HUNDRED SEATS
830
00:44:14.030 --> 00:44:17.050
IN THE MOST POWERFUL LEGISLATIVE BODY ON EARTH. IT BEGS
831
00:44:17.070 --> 00:44:20.650
THE QUESTION, HAS THERE EVER BEEN A STRONGER CASE FOR
832
00:44:20.750 --> 00:44:24.260
TERM LIMITS THAN THIS? NOBODY I KNOW IS MORE FIRED
833
00:44:24.300 --> 00:44:34.539
UP ABOUT THIS THAN MY NEXT GUEST. This has been
834
00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:37.539
a weird week, right? McConnell's back good. He's voting Republican good.
835
00:44:37.579 --> 00:44:40.369
But it's not good that he actually doesn't know that
836
00:44:40.389 --> 00:44:42.829
he's voting. And how is this even OK? I don't know.
837
00:44:43.949 --> 00:44:45.289
This has been a weird year.
838
00:44:45.409 --> 00:44:47.489
I mean, at this point, I wake up every day
839
00:44:47.550 --> 00:44:49.530
and say, I wonder which stupid is going to slap
840
00:44:49.550 --> 00:44:50.409
me in the face today.
841
00:44:51.030 --> 00:44:52.030
Well, here we have it.
842
00:44:52.110 --> 00:44:55.909
And we have the Washington, D.C. pasture, as we're calling it,
843
00:44:56.320 --> 00:45:00.239
rolling out with nursemaids in hand. Here's a man that's
844
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.659
been in Congress Senate for 41 years.
845
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:04.639
Bummer. He's old.
846
00:45:04.860 --> 00:45:07.960
His teeth are gone. He can't walk. He doesn't hear anything.
847
00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:10.039
He doesn't even hear his name. And at the end
848
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:11.860
of the day, we expect him to have some kind
849
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:16.289
of virtuoso kind of vote in some concept of, of anything.
850
00:45:16.929 --> 00:45:19.349
It's really sad that we actually think this will happen.
851
00:45:19.809 --> 00:45:20.429
What's sadder.
852
00:45:20.690 --> 00:45:22.469
And you brought it up in your, in your open
853
00:45:22.510 --> 00:45:27.369
here is that we think we need term limits. I'm
854
00:45:27.409 --> 00:45:30.579
against term limits. And let me tell you why. We
855
00:45:30.619 --> 00:45:33.239
the people need to get off of our proverbial ass
856
00:45:33.320 --> 00:45:36.219
and do something. It's our fault that we have a
857
00:45:36.280 --> 00:45:39.150
Mitch McConnell sitting in the Senate right now. It's our
858
00:45:39.250 --> 00:45:43.190
fault that we have a feckless Republican Party. It's our
859
00:45:43.289 --> 00:45:45.909
fault that we don't play in the primaries. And what
860
00:45:45.929 --> 00:45:49.119
do we want to do because we've become millennials? Move
861
00:45:49.159 --> 00:45:49.900
the goalpost?
862
00:45:51.159 --> 00:45:51.480
No, sir.
863
00:45:52.019 --> 00:45:55.030
That's not something I'm for. At the end of the day,
864
00:45:55.070 --> 00:45:58.010
the American people need to do something. The American people
865
00:45:58.050 --> 00:46:01.429
need to take over their GOP. The American people need
866
00:46:01.449 --> 00:46:03.360
to go out and get behind a candidate.
867
00:46:04.179 --> 00:46:05.760
They need to be poll watchers.
868
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:11.519
They need to go to holding their state election officials accountable.
869
00:46:12.860 --> 00:46:17.539
We want some arbitrary whip of a new law that says, okay, you.
870
00:46:17.480 --> 00:46:19.550
Can only do it for five years. This is the
871
00:46:19.670 --> 00:46:20.269
deep state.
872
00:46:20.869 --> 00:46:21.869
If you put.
873
00:46:21.710 --> 00:46:24.789
Whatever term limits you want in there, you basically turn
874
00:46:24.829 --> 00:46:27.750
the House into the Bush League and the Senate will
875
00:46:27.789 --> 00:46:29.409
be the kings of K Street.
876
00:46:29.739 --> 00:46:31.440
That's where the lobbyists live for those of you who
877
00:46:31.500 --> 00:46:32.460
aren't familiar with D.C.
878
00:46:33.380 --> 00:46:36.179
So at the end of the day, Mitch McConnell rolling
879
00:46:36.219 --> 00:46:39.079
around there in his Hot Wheels is a bad look.
880
00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:41.679
But you don't even know where Maxine Waters is. We
881
00:46:41.699 --> 00:46:44.219
hear she's got a bit of dementia. So I'm not
882
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:47.519
even sure how many more Congress people or Senate that
883
00:46:47.539 --> 00:46:49.019
we have out there with the.
884
00:46:49.019 --> 00:46:52.469
Nursemaid in their office. But nonetheless, it's an ugly look.
885
00:46:52.730 --> 00:46:55.469
And it's an ugly look because the American people are
886
00:46:55.570 --> 00:46:57.530
apathetic to their politics, period.
887
00:46:57.769 --> 00:46:59.170
So you've said a lot, and there's a lot I
888
00:46:59.190 --> 00:47:03.829
want to break down with what you said. And I'm
889
00:47:03.849 --> 00:47:05.530
glad you laughed there because I never know if you're
890
00:47:05.550 --> 00:47:08.110
going to laugh or be angrier. So I'm glad laughter
891
00:47:08.150 --> 00:47:13.190
was the next emotion after that. So let's talk about
892
00:47:13.230 --> 00:47:16.699
term limits, right? Because I agree apathy is a problem.
893
00:47:16.820 --> 00:47:19.260
And if we had people less apathetic, it might be
894
00:47:19.820 --> 00:47:22.739
easier to replace some of these people when they disappoint us.
895
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:25.219
And we wouldn't need the term limits, right, if people
896
00:47:25.260 --> 00:47:28.460
just showed up. But my counterargument to that would be this.
897
00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:33.869
Without term limits— These institutions of the politician, right, the
898
00:47:33.989 --> 00:47:36.429
enterprise of the politician, and that's what they're wheeling around
899
00:47:36.789 --> 00:47:38.690
in the Hot Wheels, as you refer to it as.
900
00:47:38.750 --> 00:47:40.769
It's not Mitch McConnell. He don't even know what he's voting.
901
00:47:40.809 --> 00:47:43.750
It's his people. It's his enterprise saying, no, no, we,
902
00:47:44.010 --> 00:47:48.159
this enterprise, vote yes here, Mitch. Whatever, I'm just here
903
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:51.380
to vote. He is a vote. They're wheeling around a vote.
904
00:47:51.969 --> 00:47:55.210
But that vote is powerful because it's the deciding vote
905
00:47:55.530 --> 00:47:58.289
in some very close votes, right? But that's what they're
906
00:47:58.309 --> 00:48:01.050
wheeling around. And if he doesn't have the cognition to
907
00:48:01.139 --> 00:48:04.719
actually analyze what he's voting for, right, I mean, that
908
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.460
shows a serious problem. But now Mitch McConnell is going
909
00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:09.500
to be gone anyway. He's not seeking reelection. That just
910
00:48:09.519 --> 00:48:12.260
doesn't apply here. But the way the enterprise of Mitch
911
00:48:12.300 --> 00:48:14.929
McConnell came to be, the power that that vote holds,
912
00:48:15.530 --> 00:48:19.420
when there's no term limit, what happens is, PEOPLE DON'T
913
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:21.380
WANT TO VOTE AGAINST THEIR INTERESTS AND WE'VE SEEN THIS
914
00:48:21.420 --> 00:48:23.670
BEFORE IN CAMPAIGNS WHEN YOU'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD CHALLENGER
915
00:48:23.909 --> 00:48:27.210
TO A BOZO WHO SHOULDN'T BE IN OFFICE, EVERYBODY HOLDS
916
00:48:27.250 --> 00:48:29.630
THEIR SCARED MONEY AND SAYS, WELL, I'D LOVE TO HELP
917
00:48:29.650 --> 00:48:31.110
YOU HERE AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS GUY BUT
918
00:48:31.409 --> 00:48:33.460
THE ODDS ARE HE'S GOING TO WIN AND I DON'T
919
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:36.159
WANT TO RAISE MONEY AND VOTE AND ORGANIZE AGAINST A
920
00:48:36.179 --> 00:48:38.719
GUY WHO'S A SITTING CONGRESSMAN OR A SITTING SENATOR who
921
00:48:38.739 --> 00:48:41.360
can ruin my political life and my businesses and vote
922
00:48:41.380 --> 00:48:43.650
against me and just make my life difficult. And that's
923
00:48:43.730 --> 00:48:46.010
what the lack of term limits does. It creates these
924
00:48:46.110 --> 00:48:49.030
institutions and without the ability to say, okay, it's over
925
00:48:49.110 --> 00:48:51.489
after this, they can use all that power. And it
926
00:48:51.510 --> 00:48:54.250
really makes people afraid to run against these guys because
927
00:48:54.269 --> 00:48:57.409
we've seen, we've seen the PACs put in millions of
928
00:48:57.469 --> 00:48:59.710
dollars to support the candidates that are already in office.
929
00:48:59.750 --> 00:49:03.280
So wouldn't term limits fix this? No.
930
00:49:04.989 --> 00:49:06.650
Want me to go into soliloquy as to.
931
00:49:06.610 --> 00:49:12.800
Why all you're doing is moving the goalposts. You don't
932
00:49:12.880 --> 00:49:15.119
think that the deep state or whatever cool name you
933
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:15.800
want to call them.
934
00:49:15.849 --> 00:49:18.730
Isn't going to figure out a way to Josh, the rules.
935
00:49:18.750 --> 00:49:20.699
They don't lose.
936
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:24.260
The only way they lose is in our founding fathers
937
00:49:24.300 --> 00:49:26.280
had the foresight to understand it because they wrote it
938
00:49:26.420 --> 00:49:28.579
big damn letters at the top of the Constitution.
939
00:49:28.940 --> 00:49:30.030
We the people.
940
00:49:30.449 --> 00:49:31.090
And guess what?
941
00:49:31.289 --> 00:49:34.250
Everybody's losing their mind about Maria Salazar right now because
942
00:49:34.269 --> 00:49:37.489
she's a Republican saying that she wants illegal immigrants to
943
00:49:37.550 --> 00:49:38.389
become citizens.
944
00:49:38.789 --> 00:49:39.809
You know why she's doing that?
945
00:49:39.849 --> 00:49:43.929
She's in the most Hispanic district in the state. She's
946
00:49:44.030 --> 00:49:47.409
also got no fans behind that. And at the end
947
00:49:47.429 --> 00:49:48.980
of the day, the rest of the world's going out
948
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:50.420
there saying, we've got to get rid of her.
949
00:49:50.920 --> 00:49:55.639
This is geopolitical politics. She has to say those things.
950
00:49:55.780 --> 00:50:01.239
Or maybe, just maybe, the Democratic Socialist, former CBS reporter,
951
00:50:01.659 --> 00:50:05.360
ends up becoming that congressperson. We don't pay attention to
952
00:50:05.420 --> 00:50:08.610
our politics, and we want to move the goalposts because we.
953
00:50:08.530 --> 00:50:11.309
Want to stay lazy. I'm tired of patting people on
954
00:50:11.349 --> 00:50:11.630
the head.
955
00:50:11.670 --> 00:50:17.170
Frankly, and that Maria Salazar, 8%.
956
00:50:15.769 --> 00:50:18.230
Of the Republicans in that district voted.
957
00:50:18.230 --> 00:50:20.110
8%.
958
00:50:20.110 --> 00:50:21.210
And now that she's going out.
959
00:50:21.130 --> 00:50:23.639
There trying to pander to the left or the center
960
00:50:23.739 --> 00:50:26.059
or the Hispanics, we all want to burn her to
961
00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:33.190
the ground, and she votes 97% with Republicans. We have
962
00:50:33.230 --> 00:50:37.760
a math problem and a lazy problem. And basically all
963
00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.460
you have to do is find somebody to do some
964
00:50:40.500 --> 00:50:43.519
dirt and you have the one issue voter that will
965
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:45.809
lose their mind and hand it over to the DSA.
966
00:50:47.090 --> 00:50:50.969
Term limits isn't the answer. Until we, the Republic, actually
967
00:50:51.090 --> 00:50:54.889
do our job... then I'll talk to you about term limits.
968
00:50:55.090 --> 00:50:56.030
And how are you going to do that?
969
00:50:56.090 --> 00:50:58.769
You're going to do COS and send these same feckless
970
00:50:58.809 --> 00:51:00.929
people and lock them in a room and say, change
971
00:51:00.989 --> 00:51:01.750
the constitution?
972
00:51:02.429 --> 00:51:06.710
Are you losing your mind, people? We're crying about how.
973
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:08.090
These people act and now you want to go put
974
00:51:08.110 --> 00:51:08.920
them in a convention?
975
00:51:09.760 --> 00:51:14.309
Brilliant. So if I understand you correctly, what you're suggesting.
976
00:51:14.329 --> 00:51:15.989
I am fired up today.
977
00:51:16.469 --> 00:51:18.909
So if I understand you correctly, what you're saying is
978
00:51:18.929 --> 00:51:21.110
it wouldn't make a difference because, well, one, we wouldn't
979
00:51:21.130 --> 00:51:22.110
be able to get it done. But even if we
980
00:51:22.130 --> 00:51:24.030
could get it done, they'd come up with some way
981
00:51:24.070 --> 00:51:26.809
to rig the system where you still wouldn't be voted.
982
00:51:26.829 --> 00:51:29.739
That enterprise would still just pass on the torch to
983
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:31.440
the next person they selected. And you're not going to
984
00:51:31.460 --> 00:51:33.480
have the power you want unless you actually get up
985
00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:35.659
and organize. And I think that's what I pulled away
986
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:37.440
from you without a vein coming out of my own head.
987
00:51:38.289 --> 00:51:39.309
So let me.
988
00:51:39.230 --> 00:51:42.429
Last I heard it was 12 and 12 years in
989
00:51:42.469 --> 00:51:46.239
the House and eight years in the Senate and all
990
00:51:46.260 --> 00:51:49.239
those all those poor fellers down there in the Congress
991
00:51:49.659 --> 00:51:51.840
are going to be like, well, I guess I'm the
992
00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:52.889
heir apparent to the Senate.
993
00:51:53.510 --> 00:51:56.309
So and then I see how you would where that
994
00:51:56.329 --> 00:51:58.550
would occur. So last question in about a minute I
995
00:51:58.610 --> 00:52:02.489
have left is how do we fight this apathy, Chad? Because, look,
996
00:52:02.849 --> 00:52:05.849
you've seen it all over social media. People are like, oh, Republicans,
997
00:52:05.889 --> 00:52:07.730
by the way, are taking pictures of how much it
998
00:52:07.769 --> 00:52:10.199
costs to fill up their truck. They're like, this is awful.
999
00:52:10.239 --> 00:52:12.420
And you're like, what are you doing? So we should
1000
00:52:12.460 --> 00:52:15.260
vote for Democrats. What is the point of you telling
1001
00:52:15.300 --> 00:52:17.719
everybody how much you're paying for gas? Tell everybody how
1002
00:52:17.739 --> 00:52:19.679
much you spend on going out and drinking or the
1003
00:52:19.719 --> 00:52:22.760
fancy dinners or the iPhone 18 that people are lined
1004
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:25.039
up to buy. No, the only people want to tell
1005
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:27.960
everybody about is how much they're paying for gas. And
1006
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:31.190
I don't understand the logic behind that. And besides the
1007
00:52:31.230 --> 00:52:33.610
people complaining about the war, people complaining about Epstein, people
1008
00:52:33.650 --> 00:52:36.250
complaining about Tucker, people complaining about Kirk. I mean, our
1009
00:52:36.329 --> 00:52:38.329
side can't get out of our own way about poking
1010
00:52:38.349 --> 00:52:39.630
at each other about all the things we want to
1011
00:52:39.650 --> 00:52:42.329
disagree about. So how do you fight this apathy when
1012
00:52:42.369 --> 00:52:43.650
this is the world we live in, Chad?
1013
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:47.159
Well, the Republican Party has a message and a brand problem.
1014
00:52:47.179 --> 00:52:49.489
Let's call a spade a spade, okay? You know, maybe
1015
00:52:49.510 --> 00:52:52.489
they don't want to sit out there and have events
1016
00:52:52.530 --> 00:52:55.050
where we have 30 different pastors from all over the
1017
00:52:55.090 --> 00:52:57.329
world coming there and tell us where we're not doing
1018
00:52:57.409 --> 00:53:01.150
our due diligence when evangelicals vote at 14%.
1019
00:53:01.150 --> 00:53:04.000
I'm not patting anybody on the head anymore. You want
1020
00:53:04.019 --> 00:53:06.119
to go out there, get involved in your GOP.
1021
00:53:06.440 --> 00:53:10.199
You don't like your conservative or Republican Party, change your GOP.
1022
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:11.579
Do it at the local level.
1023
00:53:12.179 --> 00:53:14.440
That's what a fired up Chad Caton will bring you, everybody.
1024
00:53:14.880 --> 00:53:17.710
Chad Caton, thank you for bringing the heat on a Friday.
1025
00:53:18.070 --> 00:53:20.530
And thank you for all the work you do out there.
1026
00:53:21.230 --> 00:53:22.989
Great stuff. And I'll talk to you next week when
1027
00:53:23.010 --> 00:53:24.449
you're fired up about something else, I'm sure.
1028
00:53:25.570 --> 00:53:25.969
Hoorah.
1029
00:53:26.010 --> 00:53:30.960
Hoorah. That's our show for tonight. A crazy week. Have
1030
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:33.400
a safe and wonderful weekend, everybody. And be sure to
1031

join us on Monday. I'm sure something's going to happen
1032
00:53:36.199 --> 00:53:37.880
over the weekend, and we'll bring it to you as
1033
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:39.659
soon as it does. And as always, stay in touch
1034

1037
00:53:51.090 --> 00:53:53.809
stay classy, America. And have a good weekend, Mark B.
